I have an employment gap of three years. However, I have been working remotely as a writer while I take care of my child. I also started a parenting blog to share parenting tips and family stories.

The most prominent problem is that people in my country do not acknowledge remote writing. Although remote writing has worked for me, it is now less profitable and lonely. I would like to get back to work and live a normal life. I have written several applications but I am not getting lucky.

What do you think I am doing wrong? Any advice for me?

Add your writing position to your resume and brainstorm ideas on what you're doing that would impact the type of role you're seeking.
Some ideas to start: You're able to articulate ideas, provide strategic communications or target customers. People are quick to reduce part-time or home work as experience. Be proud of and illustrate what you can offer an employer.

Have you looked into remote freelance writing positions abroad?

I have looked at Upwork and my profile was approved. But I have not won any job. I would appreciate it if you share other sites for writers.
